Book of Exodus - Chapter 28 - Verse 4

28:4
And these are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.

Meaning

This verse from the Book of Exodus describes the instructions given to the Israelites for creating sacred garments for Aaron, the brother of Moses, and his sons. These garments were to be worn specifically for their roles as priests, allowing them to minister in the tabernacle and perform rituals on behalf of the people. The garments mentioned include a breastplate, ephod, robe, broidered coat, mitre, and a girdle, all of which were considered holy and set apart for this sacred purpose. Each piece of clothing had specific symbolic meanings and was intended to reflect the priestly status and responsibilities of Aaron and his sons. By wearing these garments, the priests were not only fulfilling their duties but also embodying a sense of reverence and respect for their role as intermediaries between God and the people.
